Artisans Back In Action

Artisans who sell handcrafted items in Loyalist Plaza are back in action on the weekends...as long as there is nothing else going on.

The group that sells their work to cruise ship passengers was kicked out one Saturday despite a signed contract they had with the Hardman Group.

Artisan Lisa Mourade says the Hardman Group has since explained that they can set up shop on the weekends as long as there are no other events going on in the Plaza.

The artisans paid the Hardman Group $250 dollars for a spot in the Plaza so they could sell their items when cruise ship passengers came to town.
